If you had to start an NFL team from scratch...

I'm starting this thread because I am trying to pass the time at work.If you had to start an NFL team from scratch and got one player from each side of the ball to do so, who would the two players be. Meaning, who would you want to build your offense and defense around.

For Defense I would have to go with Clay Mathews.He's too much of a play maker, and its not just because he dominated the Bears last night. He has caused problems for teams throughout his career.

For offense I would pick Calvin Johnson.Doesnt matter who is tossing him the ball, he will come down with it. Physical and athletic freak.

So, lets see some other picks.

- Ed Reed or Ray Lewis for defense.

-Brett Farve QB is the most important position and I would want a guy who can take hits and give me a chance to win the game.

Tim Tebow and Jonathan Vilma

seriously though, Aaron Rodgers (although Ray Rice is very tempting) and Patrick Willis. If we are talking todays players back in their prime, no question Peyton Manning and Ray Lewis

Ben Roethlisberger does that...and throws less picks

I was going based on todays players. If we were going history I would take Brett Favre all day, favorite sports player ever. And Reggie White for defense

Brett Goode because you never know when you need a long snapper on offense that can ride a bike:
